- Keep single cartons under 30 KG for air handling to Finland to avoid overweight surcharges.
- Label every carton with destination, carton number, and total count (e.g. 3/12).
- Compare volumetric weight (L×W×H÷6000) with actual weight — the higher one is billed.
- Book 2-3 days before your target ETD; same-day air bookings usually carry premium rates.
